Welcome, everyone! Let's talk about writing in general and Rockapocalypse in particular.

What in spired this particular story? And how did you choose the title for it?

Also, how long did it take you to write it? Did you do much research for it?

Hi, Kendra! Thanks for dropping by. To answer your questions, Rockapocalypse was actually two stories. The first one never really had a title and it was comprised of the current back story with a different beginning and ending. After doing several re-writes over a year and a half, I became frustrated because no one showed any interest in the story. Then WWC wanted to give it a shot, but it was turned down by their pub board. So, convinced that my story had to be told, I got really frustrated and wrote the current day story around (and through) the original one during Nov/Dec of 2011. Two months later, I had a contract. As for the title, it just came to me one day when I was re-writing the beginning. With the historical elements, there was a great deal of research needed during the whole process.
